Active Minerals International, LLC announced it has begun construction and installation of a second production line. The facility, based in Climax, GA, is forecast to double output capacity with the line addition and an expanded crude storage area.
Construction began in January 2023 and is expected to be on-line in early summer. With this expansion AMI will ensure its long history of consistently supplying quality gellant attapulgite products.
“The new production line will operate side by side but independently from the existing line,” said Chuck Pettit, VP of operations. “This redundancy improves supply reliability for our customers.”
Gel quality attapulgite produced by Active Minerals is sold globally to a diverse market base. Many customers rely on the rheological benefits and suspension, binding, and adsorption performance properties of this clay mineral.
“In addition to better serving current markets, AMI’s investment in attapulgite capacity supports our commitment to product innovation,” said Brad Casper, AMI president and CEO. “That effort kicked off with the January opening of AMI’s Research & Development Innovation Center in Houston.”
